February 19th.

Jeong-dong, Incheon metropolitan city, inside a large video store.

Looking at the girl who still found nothing after a few walks, the clerk finally couldn't help but ask, "Classmate, do you need help?"

"Inside?" Cha Hee-young reflected for a few seconds before realizing that she was calling herself: "Inside, then I'll trouble you." ”

"You're welcome. The clerk smiled and beckoned: "Please come with me...... SS501?Super Junior?or Fly to the sky?"

Cha Hee-young hadn't bought an album for herself before, and the dazzling shelves were still fresh to her. It was a little overwhelming for a while, so she didn't rush to speak.

Finding that Cha Hee-young seemed to be a little undecided, the clerk's brother recommended it like a few treasures: "Lee Hyo-ri? Lee so-young?...... Well, that's all for the recent new colleges, and the supply is abundant......! Some may be out of stock for the time being. ”

I didn't hear the name I was expecting, and Cha Hee-young's mood was a little low: "That...... What about Cheon Myung-hoon's The Dreamer?"

"Oh, that's it!" the clerk hesitated for a moment before replying, "This album is selling very well, and the manufacturer's supply is not large." There are basically no more ...... on the market anymore The second batch will not arrive in a few days. ”

"Sure enough, it's gone. Cha Hee-young sighed, already prepared for this result.

Last week, she went back to her hometown in the countryside to visit her grandparents, and as a result, Cheon Myung-hoon's album also happened to be on sale. Although Cha Hee-young was a little anxious in her heart, she even thought about asking her classmates and friends to help her buy one first.

But the girl's mind was constantly troubled, afraid that the other party would arrange her gossip indiscriminately, and in the end she was embarrassed to open this mouth.

As soon as she returned to Incheon at noon today, Cha Hee-young excused herself from home. I asked about the nearby video stores, but all of them were out of stock without exception. With the last glimmer of hope, Cha Hee-young came to the largest video store in the neighborhood.

Unfortunately, there were no surprises.

When Cha Hee-young adjusted his mentality and accepted this fact and was about to leave. The clerk stopped her again: "Classmate, please wait a moment......! How many do you want to buy?"

"How many?" Che Xiying was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you say that it was out of stock?"

The clerk walked behind the counter and took out a bag: "This is the case, ...... a few days ago"

After listening to the other party's story, Cha Hee-young understood the reason. Someone called before and ordered three copies of The Dreamer in advance. It's past the appointment time, but no one has come to pick it up. The clerk called back, but he couldn't get through.

Because the other party did not perform as agreed, and did not pay the deposit in advance. Therefore, it is reasonable for the video store to unilaterally break the contract. But I replied before that it was out of stock, and I also wanted to wait for news. After all, it is best to have an appointment with someone first, and it is of course best to be able to complete the transaction.

If you just sold one to someone else, and the other party suddenly calls again. That's a little too embarrassing. So the clerk thought about it and planned to ask Cha Hee-young's needs. If Cha Hee-young wants all three, then there will be no worries.

The retail price of one album is 8880 won, and three albums will cost about 200 RMB if you count the discount. There is still a bit of a burden on the ordinary student party, and Cha Hee-young is indeed a little hesitant.

But the number 3 has a very special meaning for her!

"Well, please sell it to me. I want all three!" Cha Hee-young said firmly.

"Okay!" The clerk was secretly pleased with his wit, and he was not idle when he received the payment: "I also bought one myself and went back to listen to it, the quality of the song is really good!"

"Really?" Cha Hee-young nodded and took the change and album: "Actually, he and I are high school classmates!"

After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to respond, and immediately grabbed the door and walked out.

……

March 6, Seoul Incheon Airport.

"oppa!" Krystal said, stepping forward and tiptoeing around Cheon Myung-hoon's neck.

"Hmm...... Tap. Qian Mingxun first looked at the expressions of Zheng's father and Zheng's mother. Seeing that the two were smiling as usual, they bent down and hugged her back and forth.

Krystal tightened his arms and pulled Cheon Myung-hoon towards him. Almost face to face, he leaned into his ear and said, "Don't forget what OPPA promised me!"

With that, Krystal let go of his hand and walked back quickly to his parents. The whole set of actions looks the same as the farewell etiquette, and the performance is well-behaved and decent.

Cheon Myung-hoon was wearing sunglasses and a mask, so Krystal couldn't see his questioning eyes: What did I promise you? When did I promise you? Obviously, I will decide after the situation...... Alas, it is another loss-making business of buying and selling!

For the first two weeks, when he was fine, Krystal would go to Loen to practice. Cheon Myung-hoon will give you a brief guide on the side.

In fact, practice is a physical work, and without sufficient physical support, it is impossible to formally train at all. So Qian Mingxun didn't teach her any movements, but helped her find that feeling that she could only understand.

Let's take dancing as an example. A great dancer doesn't need to dance the whole section, a simple movement can set a model, and people can't help but want to exclaim in an instant. Of course, this depends not on technique, but on the feeling of dance.

Of course, Krystal couldn't understand it at once, so Cheon Myung-hoon briefly summarized the main points:

Dance should try to convey the intention, not stick to the movement. The more shy the movement, the more you have to slow down and control the pace. As long as you don't have stage fright, the audience won't think crookedly. Otherwise, it will immediately give people a cheap, vulgar look.

Under the careful guidance of Cheon Myung-hoon. Although Krystal has not grown much in strength, it feels very different.

……

Cheon Myung-hoon was in the popular ballad yesterday and ended his last singing trip.

Although the event ended in only three weeks, the short publicity period was unexpected. But fans can only choose to understand.

Because the new semester is about to begin, Seoul National University is certainly no exception.

Before heading into the hectic school season, Cheon Myung-hoon decided to fly to the United States. Because if you don't find time to go now, it will be difficult to squeeze out time later.

Teacher Li Xianji has settled down there and is ready to start a new journey of learning music. The purpose of Qian Mingxun's trip is to see if there is anything that can help, and second, to go abroad to scatter his mind.

The relatively intensive itinerary of the past month has inevitably made Qian Mingxun a little irritable. Every day, I am either waiting in the waiting room or sitting in the nanny car to hurry. This kind of event occupies most of the time, and it also kills a lot of interest in performing on stage.

And such a standardized stage is the essence that Cheon Myung-hoon doesn't like very much, and the difference between singers and idol singers is exactly like this:

Idol singers have been honed to turn every voice and movement into muscle memory until they can be completed without deliberate control. But the essence singer sings a song ten times, and the details of these ten times are not the same. And the unchanged musical accompaniment belt can't carry the unbridled spirituality of singing.

Cheon Myung-hoon misses his time in the band NATURL. Only then was he very convinced that he was a real singer!

Instead of a humanoid repeater.

Entering the university campus is an absolute first time, both in a dream and in reality. Cheon Myung-hoon hopes to greet him with the calmest mind and feel this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

After all, he's been looking forward to it for too long, too long.
